Congress leader Harish Rawat during the farmers rally (Kisan-Khet Mazdoor Rally) of Congress President Sonia Gandhi to galvanise protests against National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) land acquisition law at Ramlila Maidan on April 19, 2015 in New Delhi, India. Druing a rally, Rahul Gandhi said, 'I tell you how Modi ji won the election. He took loans of thousands of crores from big industrialists from which his marketing was done. How will he pay back that loan now? He will do it by giving your land to those top industrialists. He wants to weaken the farmers, then snatch their land and give it to his industrialist friends.' Sonia Gandhi said that the voice of India's farming community can never be silenced or suppressed, and any attempt to do so, would be countered with all the power at her command. She accused the Modi government of adding insult to the injury of farmers by bringing the land ordinance.
